alezzy13: Duh. We know that already. Data shows about 80% will recover.
However, Even if you somehow manage to hide cases, can you really hide DEATHS??
So the point he's making, valid one at that, is that we are actually faring a lot better than countries which recorded their first cases and deaths about the same time we did. You are talking like you don’t live in Nigeria.  Ordinary Election result you are having inconclusive... talk less of this. Park well. Trailer don jam Egungun tey tey.. |

nsiba: Ugo Egbujo Let's stay strong.
We are holding up well.
And this is why.
It's been 6 weeks since the Italian came with COVID.
6 weeks after Italy got their first case they had suffered 10,000 deaths.
We have just 7 dead.
In 6 weeks, Feb 26 - March -April, America went from about 50 cases to almost 500,000 cases.
We are just at 305.
Let me bring it into clearer focus.
On February 28 2020, we had one case. America had 60 confirmed cases.
Today we have 305 but America has about 500,000.
Okay let's use Untited kingdom that is about a third our population.
On February 8, Uk had 16 cases . We had one.
Today Uk has 70,000. We have 305.
We have no reason to panic.
God is on our side but we must not let him down.
Here is why we must not relax.
On February 27 We had one confirmed case and UAE had just 13. Both countries held up well. By March 31 UAE had 611 and we had about 131.
Today UAE of about 10 million people now has 3,360 but We have 305.
Let's be careful.
On March 6, 2020 Spain had just about 365 confirmed cases. Today they have 158,000 with about 15,800 dead.
We are doing well. But we have to keep our eyes on the ball.
Stay safe . God bless you.
Happy Easter Before giving yourself a pat on your back... Think about this? How do you think the data’ will show up, without collation.. So many people have it, here in Nigeria. Many will recover unknowingly... Then there you go.. |

Health › Re: The Coronavirus Seems To Like Cold Weather by ehhmah(m): 9:16pm On Apr 04, 2020 |
Seun: Effect Of Temperature On COVID-19: An Unscientific Investigation.
In the early days of the Coronavirus scourge, many Nigerians believed that we wouldn't be affected because of our hot weather. Now that we're testing people, we have seen a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases, to about 210, which is still quite low for a country with 190 million residents. However many people suspect that the virus has penetrated our society far more deeply than the NCDC statistics suggest. We've noticed that people who travelled to colder countries recently or spend most of their time in air-conditioned spaces, or their direct contacts, are massively over-represented among the confirmed cases. Is this because they are the only ones being tested, or is heat a factor?
Here is the list of the 10 countries that have the highest number of active COVID-19 cases, and their forecasted temperatures for the day: * USA has 257,790 active cases. The temperature forecast for New York is 8°C - 15°C. * Italy has 85,388 active cases. The temperature forecast for Rome is 7°C - 25°C. * Spain has 77,488 active cases. The temperature forecast for Madrid is 6°C - 19°C * Germany has 65,309 active cases. The temperature forecast for Berlin is 1°C - 12°C * France has 61,650 active cases. The temperature forecast for Paris is 6°C - 17°C * UK has 34,428 active cases. The temperature forecast for London is 4°C - 16°C * Iran has 31,954 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tehran is 8°C - 19°C * Turkey has 20,012 active cases. The temperature forecast for Istanbul is 8°C - 11°C * Switzerland has 14,169 active cases. The temperature forecast for Geneva is 3°C - 17°C * Netherlands has 13,986 active cases. The temperature forecast for Amsterdam is 4°C - 14°C
On average, the top ten countries with Coronavirus have a temperature forecast of 5.5 - 16.5°C. The temperature forecast for Lagos is 26°C - 34°C, and for Abuja, it's 24°C - 36°C. This is a massive, massive difference! The maximum temperature of nine of the countries above is lower than the minimum temperature of Lagos. The maximum temperature of 7 of those countries is lower than the minimum thermostat setting of most Nigerian air-conditioners (18°C).
The countries mentioned above are in Africa, Asia or Europe. What about Africa? Here's our top 5: * South Africa has 1,401 active cases. The temperature forecast for Johannesburg is 9°C - 15°C. * Algeria has 1,004 active cases. The temperature forecast for Algiers is 9°C - 17°C. * Egypt has 703 active cases. The temperature forecast for Cairo is 24°C - 34°C.1 * Tunisia has 472 active cases. The temperature forecast for Tunis is 8°C - 17°C. * Burkina Faso has 236 active cases. The temperature forecast for Ouagadougou is 28°C - 43°C. 1 1 The Egypt data is misleading because the their average temperature last month was 11.6°C to 26°C, but Burkina Faso is a legitimate outlier; the country is much hotter than Nigeria.
The above data, in spite of the outlier, is enough to convince me that the Coronavirus likes cold weather and probably spreads faster in cold places, such as air-conditioned cars, offices, and homes. This, apart from the lack of testing, may explain why we are yet to see any significant evidence of transmission outside the circles of travellers and the rich and powerful in Nigeria. It is consistent with what we know about other respiratory illnesses, and why countries like the US expect the disease to slow down in their summer season (starting from June).
When I see videos of Lagos officials spraying open areas e.g. roads & sidewalks in Lagos, I have to laugh, because I strongly suspect that, if they actually bothered to test for the presence of the virus on those surfaces, they'd find nothing at all because the sun already sterilized them.
Knowing that the virus hates our hot temperature gives me hope. If a cold country like South Korea (0°C -13°C forecast for today) could beat the virus without destroying their economy by imposing a total lockdown, a constantly hot country like Nigeria could do much better if we used the same tactics. We need to start testing people who have had close contact with confirmed cases before they show symptoms. We also need to enforce universal wearing of face-masks and social distancing everywhere, which in itself may even be sufficient to end the virus.
May your days be bright and hot. May your air-conditioners be off and your windows wide open (to get rid of aerosolized droplets). Cheers.
